Code P0075 Nissan Description

Intake valve timing control solenoid valve is activated by ON/OFF pulse duty (ratio) signals from the Engine Control Module (ECM).
The intake valve timing control solenoid valve changes the oil amount and direction of flow through intake valve timing control unit or stops oil flow.
The longer pulse width advances valve angle. The shorter pulse width retards valve angle. When ON and OFF pulse widths become equal, the solenoid valve stops oil pressure flow to fix the intake valve angle at the control position.

  • Usually the solenoids are on top of the engine valve covers. What model and year is your Nissan?

  • where is it located on a 2007 nissan altima please

  • On the attached image.
    6 = Bank 1

    7 = Bank 2

  • where is it located on a 2007 sentra engine 2.0

  • Passenger side of the engine. Location image here: https://www.autocodes.com/p00...

  • I had the Intake valve timing control solenoid valve (as the part is sometimes called) replaced; however, the Service Engine Soon Warning Light is still on with the P0075 code. So, I erased the code with the OBDII scanner, but it still there. What's the next step...

  • BTW - the car is a 2009 Nissan Sentra 2.0L- thanks for any assistance or direction.

  • What model and year is your Nissan? How is the engine oil? what oil weight are you using?

  • 2009 Sentra 2.0L; I purchase the car and immediately changed the oil. So, the oil is Castro 5W-30 for hi-mileage. The oil level is good. I recently purchased the car and my daughter has driven less than 1000 miles since then. I know that prior to my purchase the car just sat for several months, and then was sold at auction. So, I don't know how well the car was taken car of during those few months.

  • If there no drive ability problems, you could try just clearing the code for now and wait if after a couple of oil changes the engine light still comes ON. Usually replacing the solenoid valve takes care of the problem.

  • I have a 2012 nissan versa sv 1.6 I recently had my spark plugs changed and my mil came on. I took it to autozone and got p0075 and p0171. My car is a little hesitant and shaky. I tried cleaning the maf sensor but the light is still on. I want to replace my intake control valve but I don't know the location. Can someone send a diagram plz?

  • Here is the only image I got of the valve. Since the problem started after replacing the spark plugs, make sure you check all the connections before replacing the valve. Also, check the engine oil level and condition, dirty oil can cause an improper operation of the valve.

  • Hey thanks,
    I have my oil changed regularly so I doubt its that.

  • I have a 2006 nissan murano se awd. I was previously getting a p0011 and p0420 dtc. My friend brought over a different scan tool, and now I'm getting a set of different dtcs. P0075, P0081, P0223, & P0123. In regards to the P0011 dtc, the solenoid valve works. I bench tested it. However, I found that I wasn't getting any power at it's connector. I have been searching for the correct wiring diagrams so I can check to see where, at what point I'm losing power. But I have come up empty handed every time. Where should I do pin checks to find where I'm losing power?

  • You can download the "Engine Control" section of the service manual from here: http://x.nissanhelp.com/for...

    You just have to register, but the registration is free.

    The valve solenoid part could be working OK, but sometimes, the problem is oil sludge clogging the oil passages.

  • I have a 2008 Nissan Sentra 2.0 My Service Engine Soon Warning Light came on just after a car tracker was uninstalled and on the 3rd day my would not start. A scan gave the P0075 error code.
    Could this error cause my car not to sart?

  • As far as I know problems with the Intake Valve Control Solenoid Bank 1 won't cause a no start problem.

  • How much does it cost on average to replace on a 2009 Altima

  • Depends what exactly is the problem and if you use a factory parts or aftermarket. The price could range from $100-$200 for parts and labor.
    Before you replace any parts, make sure the engine oil level and condition is OK.

  • It's threw a code for p0075 for the intake solenoid valve. Bank 1. How much will that cost to replace? Thanks for your response

  • The price range from $100-$200 for parts and labor.

  • Just took it to a mechanic that says the labor is 6 hours at 135 an hour and 275 for the part. In total, 1187. Is this a valid price or no?

  • Let me check for more information. Do you have a 2.5L or 3.5L engine? how is the engine oil level and condition?

  • i have a Nissan altima 2010 2,5 S and the check engine continues to turn on the code for the problem is P0075 intake valve timing circuit bank 1 i bought the part online but not original does that make a diffrence ?

  • No. What part exactly did you replaced, the Intake Valve Control Solenoid? how is the engine oil level and condition?
